INTERIOR DYE
TOOLS & MATERIALS REQUIRED
 Pump-up sprayer with conical tip
 Painter’s masking tape and plastic sheeting
 Synthetic bristle brush
 Clean water for cleaning equipment
 White buffing pad and tack cloth
 EAGLE ETCH & CLEAN
 EAGLE CLEANER DEGREASER & NEUTRALIZER
 EAGLE ARMOR SEAL
 EAGLE CONCRETE POLISH
TEST BEFORE PROCEEDING
Test an inconspicuous area to be sure that concrete accepts stain and color meets expectation before proceeding. Test for
water seep by taping plastic on one square foot of floor. Remove plastic the following day. If floor is wet, you should not stain and seal
floor.
SURFACE PREPARATION
All walls, furniture, columns, or other items/areas that you do not want to color should be masked using painter’s tape and
plastic sheeting. This will protect the items from overspray. Concrete should be cured and clean, free of dirt, dust, residue and oil. Pre-
etch with EAGLE ETCH & CLEAN until concrete readily absorbs water. Dense concrete surfaces may require mechanical
preparation to accept dye. For oily surfaces, EAGLE CLEANER DEGREASER & NEUTRALIZER is recommended. Scrub surface with
clean water and remove excess. Allow to dry 24 hours.
APPLICATION
EAGLE INTERIOR CONCRETE DYE concentrate should be transferred into a 1-gallon sprayer. Use clean water to rinse the
residue from the concentrate bottle into the 1-gallon container. Repeat this step until all EAGLE INTERIOR CONCRETE DYE is out of
the bottle. Add clean water to a final volume of 1 gallon. To use larger capacity sprayers, adjust volumes. Always do a test spot in an
inconspicuous area before proceeding with the project. Apply with a pump-up sprayer using a conical, fine-spray tip. Small areas can
be brushed using a circular motion to avoid brush strokes. Take care to maintain a wet edge to avoid bleed lines. Do not apply more
material than the surface will absorb in 1 minute. If not using a drip-less sprayer, tape a piece of cloth or a small container to the
sprayer body to catch drips while not spraying the material. Place the tip of the spray wand on the cloth or into the small container
immediately after releasing the spray handle. Apply the dye uniformly to obtain a more uniform final appearance. Apply in a random,
circular motion with some overlapping to generate a more mottled look that more closely resembles acid stain. Colors may be blended
to produce an infinite palette or applied over a base color for a unique look. Depending on the depth of color that is desired, more than
one application may be required. Use clean water to rinse the sprayer between color changes. Keep a container of clean water
available and place the end of the sprayer wand into it between applications to keep the tip from becoming clogged.
COVERAGE RATE
Approximately 200-400 square feet per gallon, depending on porosity and depth of color desired.
SEALING
The surface must be sealed with a clear concrete sealer to lock in and protect the color. If dye residue is present, remove with
white buffing pad and tack cloth. Do not use water. A light initial coat of sealer should be applied to the dyed surface with a pump
sprayer to “lock in” the dye. After applying dye, wait 4 hours to start sealing with EAGLE ARMOR SEAL and 8 hours for solvent based
sealer. If using acetone based dye, you can seal immediately. For ongoing maintenance, clean with water only and use EAGLE
CONCRETE POLISH for ongoing scuff protection and maintenance. Apply 2-3 coats initially per the label’s instructions, and touch-up
periodically as a regular maintenance routine.
